Ponta Branca

Tasty food, delicious smoothies and the staff was extremely helpful. We bought food, pastel de nata and smoothies for 3 people and paid ~13€ per person.

Food, drinks and service were all excellent ! We were lucky enough to chat with both the chef and the owner, Fernando, after our meal. Fernando went out of his way to make the night unforgettable . On top of that, sunset on the roof deck is incredible, you can’t beat it. We’ll never forget our dinner at Ponta Branca. Thank you 🙏

The service was great from Chac, a Nepalese gentleman. Great energy about him, very friendly, fast and attentive. The view is beautiful. The food is quite good and not crazy expensive despite the location. I stayed here the whole afternoon and they had a DJ playing excellent music after lunch, a lovely vibe to watch the sun go down. The wine on tap is my favourite.

I wasn't sure whether they serve the tables or I have to order at the counter, I asked the guests, they directed me to the counter. I went at the time when most portugease kitchens are closed, whereas this place was serving food. I ordered their special, which is 3 types of small burgers with beef, chicken and salmon, and I asked to add more salad instead of French fries. They did an amazing job, I paid 21 euro with tips, for a big bottle of water, freshly squeezed orange juice and this plate you see in the picture. Plus the view and live music. I'd say they saved me because I was very very hungry. 5 stars from me :)

Food was excellent in a great location. The young man cooking was also having to take orders and wait on tables, he was very friendly but a little overworked. An older gentleman turned up but he wasn't as friendly to my companion when he paid the bill, but I have no direct experience (could be a language barrier). I was impressed with the food quality given how busy the chef was and considering he was doing three or four jobs! Price is consistent with a beachside location and not too bad. Possibly need more staff but it's difficult particularly in the winter to get the balance right.
